. CJLX was the first frequency in Canada to be granted a campus instructional license, as it is a means of training for students in the school's radio broadcasting and broadcast journalism programs. Though broadcasting from Loyalist College, the station primarily has a community oriented focus, with slightly more emphasis on the college.

History

The station originally began broadcasting in 1992 at 92.3 FM. Although commercial advertising is heard on 91X, it is a not-for-profit radio station, which in turn generates support rather than competition from local broadcasting companies.

In 2004, CJLX was approved by the Canadian Radio-television and Telecommunications Commission to change frequencies from 92.3 to 91.3 FM and increase the effective radiated power. On October 11, 2005 at 12:00 midnight, CJLX officially moved to its new current frequency at 91.3 FM. The new stronger signal now covers the entire Quinte region.
